downing street staff, including those who were heavily involved and implicated in the partygate scandal. nadine dorries, as we know, not on the list, a very close ally of boris johnson. she is not at the moment getting a peerage, but we know she is standing down anyway. downing street insisting tonight that rishi sunak has had no input into the peerages list, and the decision to approve or not was one for the house of lords appointments committee. labour are saying this list is spectacularly illjudged. they are accusing the tories of doling out rewards for those that try to cover up rewards for those that try to cover up covid rule breaking, and trying to drag rishi sunak into this, saying he is doing borisjohnson�*s betting. i think this is certainly unhelpful for the current prime minister, rishi sunak, to have that connection brought back to boris johnson. i think there will also be a number of tories tonight for whom this is deeply uncomfortable. maw; this is deeply uncomfortable. many thanks. donald trump has become the first

former president in us history to be indicted on criminal charges — accused of illegally retaining top secret classified documents when he left office two years ago. he is running again for the white house — presently leading the race to be the republican party's candidate. he has said he is innocent. a separate trial is due in new york in which he is accused of paying hush money to the former adult film star stormy daniels and falsifying business records. he is also under investigation for his role in the attack on the us capitol by his supporters two years ago, when he claimed he'd won re—election. mr trump may also have to answer claims that he tried to overturn the election result in the state of georgia, in his attempt to remain in power. here's our north america editor, sarah smith. iaman i am an innocent man, an innocent person. it i am an innocent man, an innocent erson. . , i am an innocent man, an innocent erson. ., ., , , person. it was donald trump himself who announced _ person. it was donald trump himself who announced he _ person. it was donald trump himself who announced he is _ person. it was donald trump himself who announced he is being _ person. it was donald trump himself who announced he is being charged i who announced he is being charged with federal crimes, accused of illegally keeping classified white house documents at home in paul ——

know if he is a guilty or innocent man. this could get very complicated. the mother of 15—year—old saul cookson, who was on an electric bike and died on thursday in salford, has paid tribute to him — saying he was the sweetest, kindest boy ever. saul was being followed by police and then collided with an ambulance, greater manchester police say traffic officers followed him until bollards blocked their vehicle's path. our north of england correspondent danny savage reports. the exact circumstances surrounding the death of saul cookson are now the subject of a major investigation. he was on an electric powered bike being followed by police, moments before he was killed in a collision. police say they were following the teenager down this road until these bollards here stopped them from going any further. saul cookson, though, carried on through and collided with a passing ambulance.

one man showed us pictures he took immediately afterwards. and it was rapid. it went steadfast. went round there, and an ambulance hit him. do you know what i mean? boom, i heard the noise, you know what i mean? this is footage of the road closed off after the collision. the crew of the ambulance straight away began treating the 15—year—old. he was then taken to hospital where he later died. friends have been passing by since to leave flowers and messages. everyone loved him, respected him. no—one had a bad word to say about him. it's such a devastating time for the community. he did have so much to live for. and in the blink of an eye, it's just all... it's not an age, is it, 15? there is some frustration towards police from others who ride around this neighbourhood on electric bikes. do they have a reputation? no, we don't cause no harm on the bikes. we just drive up and down the streets, round, just meeting each other. we don't cause no trouble. we just enjoy it,

you know what i mean? and the police just think you're up to no good. the greater manchester force has now referred the incident to the independent office for police conduct. this is standard procedure. saul�*s family say he was the sweetest and kindest boy. danny savage, bbc news, salford. police searching for a missing 21—year—old woman have said they are "increasingly concerned" for her safety. chloe mitchell, who is described as a "high—risk missing person" was last seen in ballymena in the early hours of saturday. a 26—year—old man who was arrested in county armagh is being questioned. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. the search for chloe mitchell has involved a large team of volunteers and has become an extensive operation in the northern ireland town of ballymena. she was last seen late last friday night and in the early hours of saturday morning. as teams searched the river bank in the town today, her brother made this plea.

if there is anybody at all with any information at all, just contact the family, and thanks for everything you are doing, and keep trying to bring her home, because words just can't describe it, i'm broke. the police operation has been ramped up in recent days, with a 26—year—old man who has been arrested and is now being questioned, while officers this afternoon repeated their appeal to the public to come forward with any information. we are becoming increasingly concerned about chloe's safety. it is out of character for her not to be in contact with her family. they are being supported by specialist officers during this worrying time. we have launched a criminal investigation into her disappearance and we are examining a numberof scenes. pa rt part of a housing block near where she was seen on cctv has been cordoned off, while volunteers using special equipment have concentrated their efforts along the river close

by. yesterday, there was around 50 to 60 members, and there will be more volunteers coming out throughout the day as they get out of their own paid work. some of those who know chloe came down to the scene of the search today, visibly upset, and asked for privacy for her family as they deal with this agonising wait for information. tonight will be a week since she disappeared. appeals have been shared widely on social media, as concern is felt across northern ireland for the safety of this 21—year—old girl. emma vardy, bbc news, ballymena. the time is 6:14. our top story this evening: borisjohnson's resignation honours list has finally been published nine months after he left downing street. i he left downing street. will be live here on the sol coast i will be live here on the south coast where temperatures are heading up coast where temperatures are heading up towards 30 degrees. great news for many but some warnings for coming up on bbc news... not the final, but still perhaps the most anticipated match

at the french open. its veteran against young pretender, as novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz meet in the last four at roland garros. of a very high risk of them becoming severe in many parts of the country if they break out. last yea r�*s heatwaves saw thousands of wildfires, with one destroying homes in east london. this year, scotland has seen one of the largest ever grassfires burning in the highlands for the past two weeks. our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has been to meet some of those charged with tackling the problem. wildfires in the highlands started burning almost two weeks ago. they were once even visible from space. at the opposite end of the country, this was filmed by firefighters on a common near farnborough in surrey last week.

it took them more than five days to bring it under control. this is what's left. and this weekend, there's a severe risk of more fires. we will be increasing our patrols across the sites, undertaking spot checks on regular known areas. but here, the damage has already been done. to come back and see a site like this and know i found this species over here, and we've had smooth snakes over there, it's. .. yeah, it does take a toll. this habitat has been almost entirely destroyed, but volunteers do their best to find creatures that may have survived. this has hidden itself away. fire's gone over the top. this is a sand lizard, which is one of the real rarities of the heath. so he's lucky. so whilst we can save some of these animals that have survived the fire, we lose an awful lot. we lose a lot of animals as well, and we lose all that biodiversity.

you can see where the fire was stopped by this little track and the impact. and remember, this is the very beginning of the summer. fire crews across the country are having to do what they can to adapt. this includes the rapid deployment of drones. this one has thermal imaging that can help reveal fires burning dangerously out of sight below ground. our climate is changing. it's changing beyond recognition. what used to be a 9—12 year cycle, this is every year now. this means that their role now can be to fight fires one day and get footage for social media the next to get the message out — being careless with barbecues or cigarettes or broken glass can also cost lives. behind every uniform, there's a member of staff who goes home to a family. and these are dangerous places to be. there are more firefighters probably killed worldwide in wildfires than there are anywhere else. the heating planet means it's

all of our responsibility, because even the smallest wild space can now catch fire. claire marshall, bbc news, surrey. well, health services in parts of england have been put on amber alert by the uk health security agency as temperatures could reach 30 celsius, and with high humidity levels, it could feel even hotter, with warnings that could put some health and social care services under pressure. our correspondent duncan kennedy is at bognor regis. duncan. well, it's been a glorious da here duncan. well, it's been a glorious day here with _ duncan. well, it's been a glorious day here with temperatures - duncan. well, it's been a glorious day here with temperatures in - duncan. well, it's been a gloriousj day here with temperatures in the mid 20s and feeling very warm. as he said, those temperatures here and elsewhere are heading up towards 30 degrees. here in places like bognor, the love that, they love the sunshine, it's a place that gets 1.3 million visitors every year, many of whom come for the sunshine. some

businesses have told us today they love these sunny days because takings can be up by as much as 50%. but notjust here, we're going to get this weather also in the south east, the midlands and also in eastern areas. at the same time, the uk health security agency, as you say, has put out this amber health warning in some places. that means people have to take seriously things like heatstroke and heat exhaustion. they are advising people to take on board lots of fluids. they also say that in some places, some health centres and some care homes might struggle with these kinds of conditions. and also today, the met office has put out its own warning for thunderstorms. they say it could be in england and wales very hard to predict, they say if you get one of these, it could be absolutely torrential rain and possibly even some localised flooding. duncan, thank you- _ a plan by labour to borrow

£28 billion a year to spend on green industries has been shelved. the shadow chancellor says economic stability must come first if the party wins the next election, and that it now plans to gradually increase investment. labour has blamed rising prices and interest rates for the delay, but the conservatives said it left their main economic policy "in tatters." our political correspondent ione wells at westminster. how do you assess this move by labour which allow this was their flagship policy, which it said the attack crisis. but flagship policy, which it said the attack crisis.— attack crisis. but it would also create well- paid _ attack crisis. but it would also create well-paid jobs. - attack crisis. but it would also create well-paid jobs. the - attack crisis. but it would also | create well-paid jobs. the first create well—paid jobs. the first race they seem to have changed tack on this is economic, they say that with rising interest rates, the cost of borrowing £20 billion a year would be much more expensive at a time when there are also trying to get the debt down. the second reason seems to be a practical one. labour argued it would take significant amounts of time to train workers and build supply chains for the plans so

spending £20 billion in year one win to get value for money but that still rest of the question of why change this plan now? i think politics plays a massive role. labour have repeatedly criticised the tories for their handling of the economy. in recent weeks the tories have attacked labour over this pledge, claiming it would push interest rates up even further and labour knows it can't afford for its economic credibility to become a weakness for the tories to start poking out. so they have decided to change course on this. while they have said they will still spend this amount, butjust after have said they will still spend this amount, but just after 2027, have said they will still spend this amount, butjust after 2027, so not as soon, i don't think the change today necessarily absolves them completely of criticism. there are still some concern internally today about where this leaves their pitch to voters if it is watering down its flagship policy. to voters if it is watering down its flagship policy-— is your supermarket shop more expensive than if you lived in europe? well, for some products it is —

research for the bbc has found. analysts compared the prices of 23 items in france, germany, italy, spain and the netherlands. the uk is the most expensive place to buy ketchup — £1.92 compared to £1.37 in italy. toilet roll is a whopping £3.80 here — it's only £2.66 in italy. we're also the most expensive for mayonnaise, butter and margarine. but we have the cheapest nappies — £5.57 for the average pack — they're more than double that in france at £12.43. and we have the cheapest frozen pizza — £1.92, again, it's most expensive in france. if we add up the whole basket of 23 items, france was overall the priciest, germany the cheapest — you can see the uk in the middle of the table here. if you want to see more of this analysis, head to the bbc website and look for our "tackling it together" pages. now a look at some other stories

making the news today. in just over 2a hours' time, manchester city will begin their bid to win the treble when they take on inter milan in the champions league final. they've already won the premier league and the fa cup. manchester united are the only english team to have won all three competitions in the same season. our sports editor dan roan is in istanbul, where tomorrow's final will be played. city have just started a final training session here at the ataturk stadium. they come in the occasion tomorrow in scintillating form, full of confidence having just secured a fifth premier league title in six seasons and the fa cup as welljust last weekend. now in this city steeped in history they have the opportunity to cap it all with the biggest prize that club football has to offer in what they feel is a defining moment. manchester city, double winners.

now one more. even for a club now so used to success, manchester city have reached new heights of domination. and now here, in istanbul, they have the chance to finally conquer europe and secure a first treble for a generation. we are ready. and the feeling that we are ready, the players will give us everything knowing and respecting. it could not be otherwise. and yeah, go for it. for all its wealth and talent, the champions league has so far eluded the world's richest club, losing in the final against chelsea two years ago. but having reached here by sweeping the site was not serial and holders real madrid, city are firm favourites. this club has been hunting down this trophy for a number of years now. the owners have backed this club massively to obviously go and win this. now we need, as a group of players, it falls on our shoulders. city's abu dhabi owners have spent more than £1 billion since 2008, bringing great success,

but also controversy. the club currently fighting a catalogue of premier league charges for alleged financial rule breaches. here in a city that straddles two continents, the sense is european club football finds itself at a crossroads. having already secured domestic supremacy, victory for manchester city would fully establish them among the game's elite and raise questions over who can challenge them. if manchester city was to essentially stroll through the final, i think the alarm bells would be ringing incredibly loudly. uefa would be concerned about this, because it would mark the first victory for city, but potentially the success of state backed football clubs. opponents inter milan, seen a surprise finalists, trained here this evening. the three—time winners, all that stands between city and the treble. the last english team to achieve that, archrivals manchester united in 1999. that year, mikael silvestree went

from inter to old trafford. he described the scale of the feat city are on the verge of emulating. it's extraordinarily difficult. when ijoined united after the treble, ifelt that team was unstoppable. and that's pretty much the sense that we have when we watch manchester city this season. here's the chance, oh, it's two! with some of the world's best players and perhaps the game's greatest manager, city already one of english football's finest ever teams. one more win and the title they have coveted for so long will finally be theirs too. over the past 48 hours, thousands of city fans have been arriving here in europe cos biggest city for what feels like the biggest moment in their clubs history. significant matters for them but also for the local authorities and indeed uefa, who had to apologise for their handling of last year's champions league final. natalie perks reports.
